Dear Factory contributors and packagers,
As openSUSE 12.2 is frozen and Factory is 'open to go wild' again, I would like to announce that the packaging guidelines have some extensions (not really new) that will be stricter enforced than they used to be.
Currently a common rule to be 'ignored' or packagers are not aware is around the topics of: - .Changes entries - Patches
Sad to hear this non-sensical, redundant rules are trying to be enforced without any discussion. This is what I call "packaging bureaucracy", Source code changes are mentioned in the NEWS, Changelog, URL, etc of the package and patches are mentioned in the spec file, with their addition time available in the OBS history. Increasingly frustrated, Cristian. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
